Minister for Public Services Sir Puka Temu told world leaders at the 71st United Nations General Assembly at the United Nations Headquarters in New York recently.

He delivered the speech on behalf of Prime Minister Peter O’Neill.

He said the ongoing sad plight of millions of refugees, migrants, including internally displaced persons and those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives, should and cannot be the new normal.

“No country is immune from the implications of this increasing global concern.”
